Cox Automotive Study: Fleet Owners More Satisfied With EVs Than ICE Alternatives, Despite Higher Acquisition Costs, Frequency of Service and Maintenance
New research released today by Cox Automotive shows that fleet owners operating both electric vehicles (EVs) and their traditional, fuel-burning counterparts have higher levels of satisfaction with their EVs. The Future of Fleets: Path to EV Adoption suggests that, compared to vehicles powered by internal-combustion engines (ICE), EVs bring higher satisfaction scores among fleet owners in key metrics such as “overall satisfaction,” “cost of ownership” and “vehicle usage and capabilities.”
“The electric-vehicle story is much larger than just the retail story,” said Zo Rahim, senior analyst of Research and Market Intelligence at Cox Automotive. “In many ways, electric vehicles can be an ideal solution for many fleet operations, which often have set routes of known distances, vehicles that routinely overnight in the same location, and operations that prioritize the cost of ownership. The fleet business is significant in the U.S. market, and we expect the EV share of the fleet market to expand in the coming years.”
